Weekend Roundup- Back from the Beach Edition

We came back today from a trip to the beach; the weather was good and it was very relaxing. Getting away from the daily grind is a great way to recharge yourself mentally and physically, and I am ready to get back at it!

I participated in four carnivals/festivals last week:

Flexo at Consumerism Commentary hosted the Carnival of Personal Finance # 157 Third Anniversary Edition . Flexo is also the founder of the COPF as well as pfblogs.org, a great personal finance blog aggregator. Congratulations on 3 years!

My favorite articles from the carnival:

One of the Many “Lemonade” Moments of My Life by Hank @ My Investing Blog

David at Moneyning hosted the Carnival of Money Stories #64- Time to Listen to Others Edition

My favorites from the carnival were:
